  • The Capitol Region Education Council will not stand for injustice or inaction. On Wednesday, May 20, 2020, CREC published our agency-wide statement of diversity, equity, and inclusion at www.crec.org/about/mission. The statement reads, “CREC is an intentionally diverse social justice organization whose members work to acknowledge, respect, and empathize with people of all different identifiers, such as race, socioeconomic status, gender identity and expression, education, age, ability, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, language, nationality, and religion. We commit to affirm and honor the lived experiences of others, to willingly challenge inherited beliefs and ideologies, and consequently learn, grow, and serve.” We stand by this statement now and always. #westandwithyou #saytheirnames #BreonnaTaylor #GeorgeFloyd #AhmaudArbery #EmmettTill #TrayvonMartin #EricGarner #BothamJean #KennethChamberlain #StephonClark #AtatianaJefferson #JonathanFerrell #RenishaMcBride #JordanEdwards #AltonSterling #AiyanaJones #TamirRice #Charleston9 #JohnCrawford #KeithScott #CliffordGlover #YvonneSmallwood #MichaelBrown #PhilandoCastile #OscarGrant #SandraBland #AmadouDiallo #FreddieGray

  • Congratulations to CREC Montessori Magnet School students Nasir Mitchell, Grace Perez, Sicily Rose, and Caden Weatherspoon who were awarded “Outstanding Entry in Connecticut History” in the Connecticut History Day (@cthistoryday) State Contest for their documentary on Governor Ella Grasso, “Mother Ella.” The theme for this year’s History Day contest was “Breaking Barriers.” The students worked for several months researching, acquiring sources, conducting and recording in-person interviews, and editing video. The students had created their final project virtually. Their documentary details how Connecticut’s Governor Ella Grasso broke educational, political, and gender barriers as the country’s first woman governor (elected in her own right), and left a lasting impact on its citizens today. Here they are pictured with @lgsusanb, Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz!

  • Staff from the Open Choice program, Farmington Public Schools and CREC Magnet Schools attended four out of six days of intensive training focusing on trauma-informed restorative practices. Through the use of circle process, small group discussion, video, games, and activities, they explored what it means to implement an integrated approach to whole school trauma-informed restorative practices, the roots of behavior and how trauma can impact memory, learning, and behavior. #CRECExcellenceinEducation #IntegratedEducation #OpenChoiceHartford
